That's what is in the "unofficial" book that was written about Bale and Batman recently. So, I dunno if I would buy into any of it (the 50 million or the 20 minutes) since it comes from an unofficial source.

If he does it, they need to cut some freaking holes in the mask for his nostrils so he doesn't sound like he has the flu everytime he talks and breathes.

"Speaking of which, there's another elitist prick that argues constantly on the Politics forums by the name of dohdough. He's a complete douche, but at least he keeps his posts in that cesspool of useless opinions. He gets my runner-up nomination."

Affleck's made a lot of progress since his early days and is actually a very well respected actor/director now. Still, I would have preferred someone else as Batman but have no doubt he can still pull off a decent Bruce.

I'm skeptical it's true, but I can't agree more on the latter. I think Bale should use some of that merchandising money he made to put up billboards in bright orange letters that say "I DON'T WANT TO ING PLAY BATMAN ANYMORE. HOW IS THAT SO HARD TO GRASP?"

Edit: I'll keep an open mind on Affleck. People shat all over Heath Ledger as Joker and RDJ as Iron Man and then were revisionists when it turned out they were great. Affleck certainly doesn't look like Batman, but that's the whole point of the Batman/ Bruce Wayne dynamic. I'm more skeptical about WB getting him in multiple film deals as needed. Oh and Zach Snyder, of course.

Final Edit: People also REALLY hated Daniel Craig as James Bond when it was first announced.

"Hey Zack, we ready to shoot this calm, emotional dialogue between Clark and his mom?"

"Is that what we're on? Ok, let's bring out the handheld camera and put the cameraman on this mechanical bull to film this one."

"But we already did that for the five previous dialogue scenes"

"AND WE'LL DO IT FOR EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM! NOW GO CUT SOME MORE SUBSTANCE OUT OF AMY ADAMS' SCRIPT!"

Whoa. Not a fan of Man of Steel, I see.

Personally I thought it was an okay starting point for the character and the DC Cinematic Universe as a whole. I'm giving everyone involved a ton of slack though - everything hinges on this Superman/Batman movie, in my eyes at least. It'll prove once and for all if Zack/Goyer were truly building up to Supes becoming the big blue boyscout we all know and love or are simply taking the character and doing their own thing regardless of what anyone else wants.

If that's the case then I'll simply have to view the movies as Elseworlds tales rather than big-screen representations of the iconic comic book characters as we know them.

I don't get the problem with Affleck and batman the the Batman/Superman movie. He's no Chris Nolan but he's a great director: Gone Baby Gone, The Town, Argo. Hmm...hold on a sec *reads news* WHAT%@&*&%)&??? This is an OUTRAGE&*#$% Affleck as batman is the worst superhero casting since...Affleck as Daredevil! Edward Furlong as the Crow! Heath Ledger as the Joker! *cough*
